Just for shits and giggles, how quickly could American producers get 1m barrels of oil per day up and running if we decided to cut bait on Russian oil instead of paying rubles for it?
1 week? 1 month?

Worst of all, Putin issued a decree not to sell oil and gas for dollars or euros.

Ukraine is sending us the first captured Krasukha-4 electronic warfare system used for interfering with enemy air coordination. Could help NATO neutralize air defenses for years to come.

1) France's Ministry of Armed Forces has been putting out daily assessments of the fighting in Ukraine (thanks for the heads up, @GrayConnolly).
quote:
2) The Ministry of Armed Forces highlights 5 areas: Kiev, Kharkiv, Dnipro (the French rightly see this as a strategic point, as I have noted in the past), Mariupol, and Mykolaiv. I will summarize France's analysis of each area.
quote:
3) Kiev: The Russians have not completed the encirclement, the Ukrainians flooded the Irpin River to slow the Russians [smart move], and the Ukrainians have retaken the town of Makariv to the west of Kiev [nice win for the Ukrainians].
quote:
4) Kharkiv: the Russian continue to maneuver its forces in an attempt to encircle Ukraine's second largest city. Fighting there is intensifying.
quote:
5) Dnipro: Russian advances from the north and east of the city have slowed.
My note: Russian forces are still far from Dnipro, it is very likely an objective but if the Russians can take it, it is in the future, not the now.
quote:
6) Mariupol: The Ukrainians in the city have rejected Russian demands to surrender, the French expect an operation to take what remains of the city to commence soon.
My note: As of yesterday, Ukrainian forces controlled an area of about 6 square miles, give or take.
quote:
7) Mykolaiv: The French said the fighting in the areas surrounding the city is "intense" and Ukrainian forces are launching counter offensives in an attempt to block the Russian advance.
quote:
8) Below are my additional observations from the map: Russian forces appear to have set its sights on advancing northward on both the east and west side of the Dnieper River towards Dnipro. Russian forces are due south of Kryvyi Rih on the west and Zaporizhzhia on the east.
quote:
9) Russian forces from north Kharkiv front have linked up with forces from the Donbas front. If there are still Ukrainian troops in that northeastern corner in Luhansk, they have been encircled and are cut off from resupply.
quote:
10) The Ukrainian troops along the Donbas front are still in danger of being encircled. The Russian advance is slow, but it is advancing. Ukraine has a significant portion of its military tied up on the Donbas front and cannot afford to lose them. It would be a disaster.
quote:
11) Kiev is proving to be a tough nut to crack. The Ukrainians are pouring a lot of their resources to defend the capital city (understandably so). I've said this before: we have to consider the possibility that the Russians value the Black/Azov seas & the east more than Kiev.
quote:
12) But for the Russians to have full control of the Black Sea, they must take Odesa. And before that, Mykolaiv, which has been a problematic city. Cutting off the Black Sea would make Ukraine a land locked nation; this is without a doubt one of Russian's key objectives.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark A. Milley have been unable to reach their Russian counterparts for the last month. The calls have been rejected & U.S. officials don't know why the Russians are refusing to speak with their U.S. counterparts. (WP)

Actually this is a very big deal. Ruble recovered to 80% of pre-crash value and euro gas prices increased 30%. Euro central banks will have to purchase huge amounts of rubles to pay for gas. Putin attempting to split euro from American sanction support and also end petro-dollar.

It is the most corrupt country in Europe. The fact that after 8 years of "Euro Maidan" revolution these famers still are worse off than after 1990 USSR collapse.

Trying to sift through the propaganda is a job in itself. From my uneducated view it appears the Russians are progressing despite heavy casualties and Ukraine is defending well but giving up a lot of territory. It appears Ukraine is relying ambushing supply lines and random strikes to slow down Russia's progress.
There was some talk in the media about how Ukraine gained ground around Kyiv over the last few days, but I don't think these maps ever reflected that.
I haven't seen anyone on this board saying Ukraine is winning, or will win for that matter. Most of this board's thinking either Ukraine is stronger than we thought (they're definitely putting up more of a fight than the world thought they could), or the Russian military is incompetent and not as fierce as originally believed prior to the war. The latter seems to be the consensus.

You're looking at the wrong maps.

I can believe they are that dense.
Add that on to our Middle Eastern "friends" not returning calls.
What a crew we have in DC.
